Henry Weedall

Henry Weedall (6 September 1788 - 7 November 1859) was a British nineteenth century Roman Catholic preacher, educator and churchman.

In the beginning of 1816 he became prefect of studies; and when Thomas Walsh (afterwards bishop of the district) became president (August, 1818), Weedall undertook the vice-presidency, taught Divinity, and had the spiritual care of lay-students and the familia.

On the division of the vicariates in 1840, Weedall was appointed Vicar Apostolic of the Northern District, with the titular See of Abydos; Wiseman being at the same time made coadjutor to Walsh and president of Oscott.

He was then head of the preparatory school at Old Oscott, 1841–43, followed by becoming rector at Leamington, 1843-8, until William Bernard Ullathorne came to the Central District (August, 1848).

(On 2 July 1853, he returned to Oscott in its hour of difficulty, sent "to renew that peculiar spirit of ecclesiastical piety and discipline within its walls with which his character imbued it from the first", and, in spite of almost continuous ill health, he was entirely successful.
